Join us to send
to Ferguson, Missouri...
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT as, once again, we bear witness to police brutality that is fueled by insidious racism throughout the United States of America.
We will not forget.
With your help, we will launch an initiative to print at least* 500 UNARMED CIVILIAN t-shirts to bring to Ferguson, Missouri, where we will distribute the shirts publicly in an act of solidarity. We will document this action and release the footage.
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT created the UNARMED CIVILIAN shirt in 2011 to be worn in protest against the threat of violence that so many face from racism and militarism throughout this country and the world.
Our initiative is simple to carry out but complex in its intent.
We wear UNARMED CIVILIAN to raise people's consciousness about the present threat of highly-armed security forces in our communities and to urge open discussion about the harm committed, against all our humanity, when people like Michael Brown are gunned down in cold blood, in broad daylight, in our neighborhoods, by a high-tech, militarized, local police force, acting with impunity.
We wear UNARMED CIVILIAN to call out the injustice of excessive violence so often perpetrated against people of color by uniformed police forces.
We wear UNARMED CIVILIAN to illustrate, boldly in black and white, our deep solidarity with those at greatest risk, who are losing their precious lives.
It is impossible to remain silent.
We ask you to wear UNARMED CIVILIAN, wherever you are, to embody the message of our collective vulnerability to abuse of power, in view of these highly militarized police forces acting against our civil and human rights throughout our communities here in the United States of America and all over the world.
TOGETHER... HANDS UP
DON'T SHOOT
WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN
OUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BATTLEGROUND
